Hi Jon,

Thanks for your reply :)

Like you I was able to get the button to display the image I wanted by 
putting full URLs in the [button] code, but it's what happens after I click 
the image that's causing me problems. I've not yet managed to come up with 
a complete [button][/button] tag that saves the form data and then proceeds 
to the checkout all in the one click like the standard button does.

Hopefully Ed will post an example for us :)
